Blue Scrumpy left this review about Bricklayers Arms
14 years on since my last visit to Luton, where my favourite pub had been the Black Horse, my return yielded nothing above average until my final pub of the day, the Bricklayers Arms. Finally my faith in pubs was restored.
The pub is sited very close to Luton railway station in the Hightown area of the town. It's a fabulous alehouse with a main bar at the front and two further smaller rooms beyond.
Locals were engaged in good conversation. Although a couple of elderly folks nearly came to blows during a discussion around Covid vaccinations. The landlord was on hand to make sure no punches were thrown!
The pubs has lots of character and seemingly loads of characters. As an onlooker, I quite enjoyed the free entertainment.
5 real ales were on - Oakham JHB, Deeply Vale Equilibrium, Leighton Buzzard Vimy Bomber, Slater's Amarillo & Muirhouse Magnum Mild. Two Weston's Rosie's Pig ciders were also available - Rhubarb Cider and Raspberry & Cucumber Cider.
My mild was my favourite drink of the day and this was my favourite pub in Luton by a country mile. When I'm next in Luton, I need to remind myself to head straight here.

This is a great old fashioned boozer which on my visit sold five cask ales.
It's a small place with the bar and a wooden floored room at the front and another small room further back with a dart board that appeared to be blocked by a large sherry or wine barrel.
On my visit the beers were Bateman's XB, Tring Ramscoat, Oakham JHB, York Minster and Nottingham Rock Mild. I went for the Mild (£3.10) which was in great nick and went down a treat. On my Thursday lunchtime visit I don't recall seeing any TV screens but I may have just been wishing them away.

The Everards beers that used to be regulars have now been replaced by Batemans XB, which can be found on the smaller bar in a drinking corridor between the front and back rooms. Four other hand pumps in the front bar have an interesting variety of guest ales, often from local breweries such as Tring. The front room is in bare boards ale house style, with a couple of upended barrels as well as the usual tables and chairs. Through the corridor there is an option (on the right) to take your drinks out into the yard (sunny and crowded days only), or there's the smaller back room, or (past the toilets) the smokers yard at the back.
The landlady and regulars take pride in a review which described the pub as "quirky", but apart from the fact that almost all of the people I have met here support Luton Town, I have seen little real evidence of this. It's always very busy here on Luton Town match days, and away fans may be turned away if they are wearing colours, even if they can get the door to open.
